Help Your Child Get Ready to Read

Part Two: Vocabulary Development

Literacy SkillVocabulary development is knowing the names of things, feelings concepts and ideas.

The best practices for early literacy programming in libraries have been established based on current brain and educational research. When these strategies are implemented with story times at your library, children's foundations for reading success are enhanced.

At Chevy Chase Library we use singing, fingerplays, following directions with music, and reading books aloud to children to help develop vocabulary with new words introduced.
